The Driving Doctor

Mr. Luna is the one you want. He is calm, kind and patient and knows how to instill confidence in his students. Our daughter got her license on her first try!

Edward is amazing.
I’m a long time driver, but my license is Canadian, so I had to go through all the tests again. Funny because the California test is way easier. No parallel parking, no driving on the highway. Still I was worried I would fail on a technicality. It had been 18 years since I last looked at a driving handbook! So quick Unilocal search and I found the Driving Doctor. I’m so happy I did.
Edward is patient, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. He helped me stay calm and focused. We did some practice tests, and he gave me little tips on what to do. Plus he came with me on the day, so I didn’t have to deal with the extra stress of figuring out the bureaucracy. He just knew everything. Edward’s other talent is singer songwriter, so I asked to listen to his songs. We just talked and listened to music while waiting. That was the perfect way to clear my head.
You’re allowed 15 errors on the test. I got 2. Thanks Edward Luna for my driving license!

I called many of the driving companies to get information but their main concern was time and money. When I saw the Driving Doctor on Unilocal and all the reviews, I decided to call him and when I spoke with him, I can already tell that he was the right person for my stepson. My husband was trying to teach my stepson to drive but they were stressing each other out. When talking with Mr. Luna’s he was so knowledgeable and asked me the right questions. He told me his main concern was for my stepson to become a safe driver and wouldn’t advise him taking the test until he knew he would be a safe driver and pass. We did not have any problems with scheduling and he was responsive to our calls or texts. Mr. Luna is patient, calm, experienced, and is a very good investment in your kids driving future. After lessons, my stepson felt more confident with his driving skills with Mr. Luna as his teacher. BTW, my stepson passed!

Thank you Driving Doctor! Thanks to Mr. Luna I just passed my behind-​the-​wheel test! I’ve been trying for well over a ten years to get my license. It seemed the universe was against me ever driving. Family wouldn’t help me, and finding a friend to give me lessons proved difficult. Last year I finally decided to try again and went to Viva Driving School. The experience was lackluster at best and did not result in me getting my license. I found the Driving Doctor on Unilocal and booked my first appointment. Mr. Luna is wonderful; his demeanor will immediately put you at ease and his knowledge and expertise will insure you pass the test. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a driving instructor and want to learn from the best, the Driving Doctor is the only way to go.

The Driving Doctor was my first choice of driving school but it’s a bit far from my location. Mr. Luna, however, was so kind enough to accomodate my questions despite the fact that I can’t get his services (unless I will go to Pasadena by bus). I checked his YouTube videos, as he recommended, and I wasn’t disappointed. Even if I just watched two videos which are only a few minutes long, I already learned a lot. I am sure all the good reviews about The Driving Doctor are legit. :) **giving a 4-​star for now since I have not been to an actual class.

If you want to learn to drive a car, don’t waste your time with anyone else, just hire the Driving Doctor – he is an amazingly gifted teacher and you can tell he cares deeply about his students and their success. He has even started putting up really helpful videos on YouTube, for instance «A Driving Tutorial,» under his name, Edward Luna

After years of not being able to drive, some ineffective experiences with another driving school in the area, and thinking maybe somehow I was just incapable of driving, I finally called the Driving Doctor (thank you Unilocalers!) I was actually pretty terrified before my first lesson, but by the end I was driving around like it was almost normal. And every lesson I just got better, thanks to his warm, positive and skilled instruction.
I have just passed the DMV driving exam, and when the test was over, the examiner asked me if if I already had a license somewhere else – it didn’t seem like I was a beginning driver. I said no, I’d been practicing and had the very best teacher. Thank you, Ed!!!

Even though I have been driving in Australia for over 30 years Edward assisted me in adapting to the road rules and driving in America. With his instruction I was able to gain confidence and adapt to the road conditions here… and pass my driving test first time round. He has all the knowledge, skill and patience to get you on the road and driving safely and with confidence.

I never thought that i could drive. I was so terrified that i couldn’t even go into the drivers seat. I was 17 when i got into a small car accident i could see what a bad driver could do. When most kids were eager to drive i was running from the idea of cars and driving. I thought i will never drive a car in my life but when i turned 20 my mother got very sick and she needed to go to ER. I felt so useless when i couldn’t help her she drove her self to the hospital and from that point on i KNEW i had to drive.
I found The Driving Doctor he had AMAZING reviews and i thought WOW he must be a great teacher, I was skeptic but to my surprise he was a GREAT TEACHER!
If you ask me if Mr. Luna is a professional? Yes he is! He was so assuring and calm i told him how i felt about driving and he helped me conquer my fears and I PASSED I HAVE MY DRIVERS LICENCES!!!
The BEST decision i could have made was pick MR. LUNA!!! I couldn’t be happier: D!

I first decided to go with the Driving Doctor because of his positive reviews. There were lots of people on here talking about their bad past driving experiences, and how he was able to get them through it; and not just to pass the driving test, but to also learn how to drive safely. There were one or two negative reviews about him being unprofessional, but that was definitely NOT the case. The Driving Doctor helped me get over my past insecurities, showed me how to drive in many types of situations, was very professional, and worked with my schedule. Now for the first time, I have a license, and I couldn’t of achieved this without the Driving Doctor!

The instructor was very unprofessional. I wanted a sooner available date but he couldn’t give me an appointment because I think he is the only driver. I was finally able to schedule an appointment and his services were not what I expected very unprofessional. I decided to change schools and was able to compare the services and found the other driving school to be more professional and knowledgeable in their instructions I would not recommend this driving school.

Ed is great! My son had a crazy schedule but Ed was able to accommodate us. He passed his driving test with no problem. Thank you, Ed!

Edward is the real deal! As previous reviewers mentioned, he is the super hero of driving instructors! He’s patient, calm, and the greatest teacher. As being a new resident or never having a previous drivers license, I was so nervous to drive in LA, but he taught me the skills to be a confident driver! Yesterday I took my test and passed! Thank you again Edward for all that you do!

EDWARD IS AMAZING!!! After using another popular school in the Pasadena area, my daughter did not pass her driving test and was not confidant behind the wheel. After reading the reviews about Edward I knew he was the guy that my daughter needed. He doesn’t teach the student with the main goal of having them pass a test but rather his goal is to make them a safe and confidant driver. Both my daughter and I cannot express our sincere gratitude in finding Edward. If your child has anxiety don’t bother with anyone other than Edward to teach your child to drive. He is simply the best. I think he truly is an angel!!! My daughter said he is «the Superman of driving schools!»

Best investment in my son’s driving future that I could make! Edward went the extra mile to ensure that my son not only passed his test but also is a competent defensive driver. It was a great experience.

I have never been able to drive on big streets with other drivers on the street, but after a 2 hour session with the driving doctor. I came home more confident then I have ever been driving ! Definitely recommend him to all new drivers learning how to drive :)

I finally succeeded, I got my driving license!
I was damaged goods, I learned to drive as a teenager with a sadistic instructor who demolished my self esteem and after failing three times my driving test, I moved on and moved to a city with public transportation (Europe, I love you)…
Until I moved to LA where not having a driver’s license was a no-​go.
I found Ed on Unilocal and was convinced by the reviews of people that had similar experiences. Ed is an excellent instructor and has a lot of psychology insight, takes you from from where you are to the level needed to take and pass the test. He focuses on practice that gives you the confidence to drive safely. He also teaches you how to drive defensively, which is in my opinion a priceless skill to have in LA.
I am so grateful, thank you so much Ed foe teaching me how to control my car and drive safely!

I GOT THE RIGHT DOSE FROM THE DRIVING DOCTOR!
I’m from the Philippines, I never driven a car there, I only been here in CA for 3 years. We lived in Pasadena where everything I need was walking distance, Trader Joes, WholeFoods, Oldtown, Target, and even my daughters classes, so theres no reason to drive for me-​or I say I did not push myself to learn how to drive, until we moved. Then I start Unilocaling for driving school and I found the Driving Doctor. I said ‘Hmmm maybe I should try to call the driving doctor– and then I called EDWARD LUNA (#mydrivingdoctor).He was very patient, accommodating and kind and very honest with you. From zero driving knowledge to getting my drivers license.(take one in my driving test).I took a total of 8hours with him and its worth it but he will tell you when you are ready or not… I thank you Ed for helping with my confidence in driving, .you are so good and kind!.I really appreciate your help. I will be a safe driver:)

Oh boy, I’m glad I come to him for help.
About a year ago, I took behind the wheel test but failed on on the first try. After that I lost my confidence, and realize I didn’t have enough experience nor skillful enough. So every time I think about driving, I got nervous, until I meet this doctor. He’s not just an ordinary instructor from any driving school I have been to before. He’s different, he teaches how to drive, yes of course, but to drive safely, not just to pass the test, and in addition, to be able to learn more about how to react and process the situations faster when necessary. He will tell you what is your mistake and how to remedy it and help you to improve your skill and will tell you until you get used to the situation and know what to do on your own after. Remember the examiner is there just to give directions and stop you in case of emergency, you have to know and prepare to react with the traffic flow on by yourself, so this doctor here has a good way to delivery the messages and dedicate to help you to fix your mistake. He won’t teach you just the basic and tell you that you are ready to take a test. Thanks to him I overcome my fear and in control on the testing day.

The Driving Doctor is a true Medicine Man–
When I was 17 I first failed my Behind-​the-​Wheel test after hours with a driving instructor in OC. Fast forward to 10 years later my epic levels of anxiety around this test caused me to miss the mark once again.
I started working with Edward Luna, The Driving Doctor several months ago and I decided to trust the Unilocal Reviews, because it’s amazing to hear so many success stories. Definitely glad I did! Always sensitive to the anxious driver (me!), Edward put me at ease with the learning experience. His driving knowledge is solid and his teaching skills are intuitive.
He listened carefully, discerning my learning style and providing the tools to match. He is both supportive and encouraging even in his welcome corrections.
To all you anxious drivers out there – just try one lesson and you’ll see there’s no reason to worry. Everything will work out and there will be one super psyched instructor to cheer you on!
I’ll never forget November 17, 2014, because it’s the day that The Driving Doctor helped me realize something I never thought possible: I am a driver!!!

DMV examiners recommend him to their friends and family. Important people send their kids to him. Students who had gone to and weren’t happy with the popular driving schools in the Pasadena area (and you know who they are) go to him. You’ll feel comfortable around him: he’s friendly, patient, and respectful, and he’ll keep you calm. But he’s also frank and will tell you if you’re not ready to take the test.
He’ll get you ready though. You can be sure of that. He loves his job and takes pride in it, and it shows. In the end, I felt like I had found a friend. I really did.
